The Entity's feeding method seems incredibly inefficient

I mean, think about it. It has to find a candidate for killer, twist and manipulate them mentally if they aren't already murderous, then pull them into its realm. Then it has to wait for people to stumble into the area of the atrocity and pull them in. And don't even get me started on the energy it would take to perform friggen necromancy, repeatedly, on beings with increasingly less and less to revive.

Seems like it'd be easier to hang out around colleege campuses during midterms and finals and then hibernate the rest of the year tbh.

"The Entity is a nameless evil that lives in the space between our world and our imagination, the kind of place only revealed in dreams. To obtain its source of sustainment, The Entity reaches out into the hearts of susceptible victims and corrupts them into performing hideous acts of violence, because the only way for it to manifest itself in the real world is through an act of violence so extreme, that it results in fatalities."

This paragraph from the wiki kind of explains it. She can't hang around college campuses unless you have a horrific event occur there. Plague is really the only oddball in this case, as she didn't kill intentionally anyone and was just trying to save her people.

Also, given how she has the power to literally create pocket worlds, I don't think it would take much energy to perform necromancy.

In The Plagues lore it is mentioned that before she would have died she performed one last prayer and my guess is that the Entity answered her prayer as a "God" and "saved" her in return for her doing everything the Entity asks her to do.

It was mentioned in her lore that she banished herself out of desperation to appease the gods so she would very likely agreed to this deal and because she was also very religious she probably thinks if a god wants her to do something as example kill unbelievers who is she to doubt a god?

The only other explanation if the first one isn't correct is that the cave she and her followers were in had a stronger connection to the Entity as most parts of the world

Bizarre response to this specific thread but also good point. If it's attracted to and hangs around any sort of mass death then shouldn't most of Europe be capable of falling prey to it after the Black Death alone?

that's just the way it is, man. maybe it really does want/need to improve, or maybe it's already maximized its efficiency. maybe it does try to experiment, and somewhere out there is another area of its realm that doesn't hold trials. as far as it constantly performing necromancy, i imagine it isn't that taxing on the entity, or at the very least it gains more than it loses.

as far as i'm concerned, though, the entity just does what it does, whether it's because it feels the need to or whether it's all it can do is beyond me. all i know is that it's getting hungrier 😟

It needs to calm down with all its dimension hopping before it ends up hitting a universe with things capable of completely obliterating it. Though now that it hit Stranger Things, it might be too little too late to avoid that.

Oh well, at least it wasn't stupid enough to shoot for the Persona Universe. Thus would have been the days of the Entity for sure.

Highly unlikely. The entity seems to have no known weakness at the moment. This would mean that it’s nearly impossible to kill. Kate’s lore even stated that it’s skin was like iron when she beat its leg with a rock, only for it to bounce off of the Entity. The only thing strong enough seems to have been Vigo, yet we don’t know what happened to him.

The Entity wouldn’t let someone that knows of its existence into the real world, that would be suicide for our little antagonist. The void would be better suited, maybe even turning him into a killer. It would make sure to always keep an eye on him, and show us how scared of this one guy it truly is.

*laughs in P3 protagonist killing the avatar of death and p5 protagonist killing an actual god* Trust me bro, the power scaling does mot favor The Entity on this one. Kate had a rock. The Persona 5 Protagonist, Akira Kurusu, has this:

That's gonna hurt a lot more than a pebble.

But in all seriousness in terms of Vigo, he's most likely either in the void or is the Archivist. We'll probably find out which on once the archives launch.

Who said anything about giving him knowledge? He might've just taken it. And maybe giving Vigo everything he wanted was a good idea: give him what he think he wants to shut him up and pacify him with a lotus eater dream.
